In the night, a light rain kept falling.

In an alley less than two streets away from the county office, fierce fighting was staged, the torches kept shaking, and the light was looming, but it could still illuminate the faces.

"Hold on, in just a quarter of an hour, our reinforcements will come!"

Zhu Zhi is a veteran of the battlefield, and in the face of the surprise attack, although he was a little flustered, he quickly stood firm, and commanded these county soldiers to guard left and right in an orderly manner, condensing the military formation.

After all, this is Wu County, the hinterland of the Jiangdong Army, as long as they are dragged down, these assassins will definitely die.

Hundreds of elite assassins seemed to be some outlaws, going forward to kill one after another, and among the assassins, a somewhat old and sharp voice sounded: "Kill him, give it to me, at any cost, kill him!" ”

And he was referring to the direction of Gu Zhou, among the three county guards.

"Kill!" These assassins became even more crazy, and they all died, and the casualties of the county soldiers increased more and more.

"Is that him?" Under the protection of the county soldiers, Gu Zhou's expression was suddenly shocked, and the voice he heard involuntarily felt a chill in his heart.

He understood who was going to kill him, so he was very frightened and trembled involuntarily.

In the alleys, the earth-shattering sound of killing resounded in the sky of Wu County, and in the silent county town, countless people could hear the shouts of killing here.

"You and other rebellious ministers and thieves, you dare to make trouble under the jurisdiction of a certain family, it is bold, damn it, anyone who makes trouble, there is no mercy!" At this time, suddenly a burst of fire flickered, and I saw only a young man, with a tiger on his back, riding a tall war horse, galloping, with a spear in his hand, with hundreds of county soldiers, forcibly killed from the direction of the county office.

"It's the county lieutenant Sun Ben, he led the troops to reinforce him." Seeing this young man, Zhu Zhi breathed a sigh of relief, these assassins are obviously dying, and if this continues, I am afraid that this county soldier will be folded here.

"Kill!"

Sun Ben took the lead, and hundreds of county soldiers behind him were killed in a blink of an eye, and they were killed among these assassins in one go.

"Withdraw!"

The leading assassin, with some vicissitudes of life, sharp eyes, gritted his teeth, and watched one of his subordinates fall under Sun Ben's spear, knowing that today's task could not be completed, and in desperation, he shouted.

Hundreds of assassins, seventy or eighty corpses left, and twenty or thirty others took advantage of the darkness and rain to break through and disappear into the vast rainy night.

These assassins were obviously very familiar with Wu County, and hundreds of county soldiers had just caught up with them before they disappeared.

"Childe, they are so rampant, they actually dare to ambush us near the county office, we must not let them run away like this, I will personally lead people to hunt them down!" When Zhu Zhi saw this scene, his eyes were a little cold, he said respectfully to Sun Quan, and then left in a hurry with hundreds of county soldiers.

"Zhongmou, it's not too late!" Sun Ben jumped off the horse, walked up, looked at Sun Quan in the wheelchair, and said heartily.

Sun Ben is the cousin of Sun Quan and Sun Ce, he is already twenty-three this year, he is the eldest son of Sun Jian's brother Sun Qiang, Sun Qiang passed away in his early years, he governed in his early years, and has been raising his younger brother Sun Fu to grow up.

Sun Ben has been fighting with Sun Jian since Changsha, his martial arts are extraordinary, he has won Sun Jian's love, and has been serving as Sun Jian's personal guard, after entering Wu County, Sun Jian released him and served as the county lieutenant of Wu County, after all, Wu County is now the center of power of the Jiangdong Army, and the county lieutenant commands the county soldiers here, this position is very important, and it must be held by a confidant.

"Brother, you're here just in time!"

Sun Quan looked at Sun Ben's cousin, smiled slightly, and said: "This time it was Quan's negligence, I didn't expect that there would be someone behind, the praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches were behind, but I became a praying mantis." ”

"Zhongmou, the security of Wu County is managed by a certain person, in the county seat, there are not many people who can gather so many elite assassins at once and forcibly attack you!"

A kind of county soldiers began to clean up the battlefield, and Sun Ben checked these assassins', and his face became heavy.

"I already have a little clue in my mind about who made it."

Sun Quan squinted his eyes, looked at Gu Zhou, who was lost in the distance, and said in a low voice: "Brother, remember, you must take good care of the three of them, take care of them, eat and drink, you must be extra careful, you must use your henchmen, you can't let the three of them die in our hands, they are still of great use." ”

The power of these big families in Wu County is deep-rooted, and Sun Quan has to be careful.

"I see!" Sun Ben knew that Sun Quan was a person with ideas, and nodded.

Da Da Da ......

At this time, Sun Ce and the three of them also got out of the Ximen Long Street, and galloped on horseback, seeing this situation, they were taken aback, but they didn't expect that there were assassins here, and the battle was even more fierce than the long street, and the three of them hurriedly jumped off their horses.

"Second brother, are you alright?" Sun Ce hurriedly asked.

"It's fine!"

Sun Quan shook his head and said, "We have been busy all night, we have killed those who should be killed, those who should be arrested have been arrested, and everything that should be done has been done, we will go home, it's time to return to our father." ”

This night, I'm afraid that many people in Wu County can't sleep.

"Good!" Sun Ce nodded, handed over the matter of cleaning up the battlefield to Sun Ben, and returned to the Sun family's mansion with Zhou Tai Xu Sheng with Sun Quan.

Then report to Sun Jian, who has been waiting for news.

At this time, the Sun family was still brightly lit, and the Sun family was wearing a firm robe, kneeling in front of the desk in the study, and quietly looking at the military books

"Father!" Sun Ce pushed Sun Quan's wheelchair and walked into his uncle.

"How?" Looking at the two of them, Sun Jian raised his head, smiled slightly, and asked, "You two have a lot of movements, I can hear them here, have you caught someone?" ”

"I have all been caught, not only Xu Gong has been taken, but I have also taken down a person you can't imagine, but this time I was calculated, and the three people I caught were almost killed."

Sun Quan smiled slightly bitterly, and then analyzed the back and forth.

"You mean, they still have bed crossbows?" Sun Jian was furious, and there was a trace of murderous aura exuding from his body.

"Indeed, if it weren't for the second brother's proper arrangement, let Zhou Tai and Xu Sheng accompany him, I'm afraid this time I will be broken!" Sun Ce was still a little scared in retrospect.

"Ruthless enough, I think they think a certain family is easy to bully, then a certain family will let them see this time, my Sun family's anger, so the assassin who will be killed later should not be Xu Gong's person, right?" Sun Jian's brows furrowed, and his eyes were a little cold: "Xu Gong doesn't have such a lot of energy. ”

"Definitely not, they are coming for Gu Zhou."

Sun Quan's eyes lit up slightly, and he said in a low voice.

"Gu family?" Sun Jian stood up and walked to the window of the study, staring at the drizzle outside, a little cloudy.

――――――――――――――――――――

At this time, in the Gu family's mansion, Gu Yong looked a little anxious, and hurriedly walked into the study of Gu Hong, the head of the family, Gu Hong sat on the bamboo mat in the room, his face was very gloomy.

"Uncle, was our Gu family involved in the assassination just now?" Gu Yong asked directly.

"Hmm!"

Gu Hong raised his head, looked at Gu Yong, looked at him calmly, nodded, and sighed: "After Gu Zhou was removed from his official position, he was always dissatisfied with our proximity to Sun Jian, so he secretly funded Xu Gong's actions, and when I found out, it was too late, so in a hurry, I made a stinky move." ”

He regretted it a little now, Gu Zhou was involved, as long as the Gu family didn't admit it, he could still come back, at most he would lose Yan zhòng, but the trick he made later was a stinky move that offended the Sun family.

"You mean, kill Gu Zhou?" Gu Yong's eyes widened.

As long as Gu Zhou dies, even if the Sun family has grievances and has no evidence or certificate, they can't take the Gu family back at most.

"Hmm!"

Gu Hong nodded.

"The operation failed?" If it succeeded, Gu Yong didn't feel that this move stinked, but if it failed, it would be a superfluous move and offend the Sun family even more.

"Hmm!" Gu Hong still nodded.
